County Mailed Out Nearly $1.2 Million in Property Tax Refunds This Week
Nearly 1,800 were sent, and the average refund is about $672—so, check your mailbox.
Declining property values prompted the county of San Diego to send out nearly 1,800 property tax refunds this week, Treasurer-Tax Collecter Dan McAllister said today.
McAllister said the negative reassessments are the result of sales, in which the value of the affected properties is deemed to be lower than before.
The checks mailed out this week are among more than 18,500 refunds totaling nearly $10.6 million that have been issued during this calendar year because of reduced assessments, he said. The refunds are sent out in batches.
